While BPF allows to set icsk->->icsk_delack_max
and/or icsk->icsk_rto_min, we have an ip route
attribute (RTAX_RTO_MIN) to be able to tune rto_min,
but nothing to consequently adjust max delayed ack,
which vary from 40ms to 200 ms (TCP_DELACK_{MIN|MAX}).

This makes RTAX_RTO_MIN of almost no practical use,
unless customers are in big trouble.

Modern days datacenter communications want to set
rto_min to ~5 ms, and the max delayed ack one jiffie
smaller to avoid spurious retransmits.

After this patch, an "rto_min 5" route attribute will
effectively lower max delayed ack timers to 4 ms.

While we could argue this patch fixes a bug with RTAX_RTO_MIN,
I do not add a Fixes: tag, so that we can soak it a bit before
asking backports to stable branches.
